Felix and the team are really amazing best movers in Montreal they took good care of my goods Thank you very much

The two men who did my move were very good. Despite moving from a third floor walkup they both kept up a quick pace. Thank goodness the destination involved no stairs though. They were quick, careful and very polite. I will use this company again. read more

I called Archie for my recent move after using him over 10 years ago. I remembered how friendly, helpful and honest he was at that time. I wanted to hire him again knowing my belongings. would be moved with care and attention. He booked me in quickly and called the night before to confirm the move. I had NO worries wondering if someone would show up. His drivers called and kept me informed of their arrival. The workers were efficient and as friendly and hardworking as Archie. They make you feel like friends! I will always hire Archie and his team over anyone else. I am very happy and satisfied with Archie and his company. Donna W. read more

From the start to the end, If you are looking for promptness, loyal, professional, affordable, and extremely patient service, then there is no other place to look around than to engage Montreal Small Moves. We have moved several times in and around Montreal and have experience engaging multiple moving companies. But so far the best experience was when we engaged with Montreal Small Moves. We were always attended and taken care personally from the owners: Archie and Chantal. We have been customers of Archie and Chantal from the past 4 years now. Before each move, They asked us to create a detailed inventory including the details of which floor and type of building. And once they provide the rate cards, We are all set with no other hidden costs. They helped us to move within Montreal a couple of times with their own truck, once with moving all our belongings from a storage facility to our home, and twice with loading/unloading items from home into our U-haul truck. Archie and Chantal and their team handled all the items and boxes with care during the whole moving process. I definitely recommend Montreal small moves to anybody who wants peace of mind and a good experience during moving. Best Regards, Ashwin & Ramya read more

Archie managed to screw up the easiest move on the planet. I gave him weeks of notice, provided photos of the apartment and contents, address, screenshots of where to park and at the day of the move everything fell apart. Him and his wife/partner promised that we would be the first move of the day as per my request. He was supposed to arrive between 8:30-9am and he never had the decency to call me and let me know that I was not the first move of the day anymore nor that he had no functioning truck or movers! Every hour I would call and ask where he was and he would say that they were on their way. By 1PM I realized that he was going to be a no show so I called him to let him know that he should not bother coming anymore. The building I was moving out of charges for the use of the elevator in 3 hour intervals. The building I was moving to doesn't allow moving to go past 5pm or else they charge a fine. Because of Archie and his company I was fined in both buildings and got a parking ticket while waiting for him. This company and the owners are a joke. Don't waste your time or energy. They also charge the same as legitimate companies so its a no brainer to avoid at all costs. Never even had the decency to apologize. I had to find alternate movers THE DAY OF THE MOVE. Thankfully another professional company was able to take the job last minute and get us moved throughout the evening. read more

Please do not trust Archie or his movers. I requested 3 people. 1 cancelled because Archie said the employee was hung over. The other 2 showed up 2 hours late. I was nervous about going over budget and the move lasting longer, which it did. The movers overcharged me. They did not listen to where they needed to unload the truck causing issues with my new building. They damaged several items without apology. They demanded tip after the delays, damaged items and overcharging. They just kept repeating they have the best prices. They did not load all my items. I lived in a 2 bedroom home. It took additional time, friends and car loads to move me out. After all this, they kept calling to say they miscalculated and wanted more money, for me to make it right. They knew I had a max budget and the unloading took twice as long just to squeeze more cash from me. UPDATE: He may not be happy with this review but then he needs to find better employees that do not prolong the move to get more money, damage items, overcharge, demand tip, and unload where they are not supposed to damaging the building walls in the long wrong. Archie has other very similar reviews so be careful. Please save yourself the stress and worry and find someone reliable and responsible to move your items. read more

I will start off by saying that I would never recommend this company to anyone. I was lied to constantly by the owner "Archie" and/or his movers, the movers showed up 3 hours late, the movers took far too long for an apartment move, and a list of other things caused our move to be even more stressful than moving on our own. We wanted the stress to be removed from moving. We booked a move with "The Transporter" or "Montreal-Small-Moves" and were told that we were the first move of the day at 9-10am. We gave them all of the info about our home but there was never an assessment prior to the move -- should have been a red-flag. We were ready to go but ended up waiting 3 hours for the movers to arrive. I called the owner twice and was told that his movers were "working." Why were they working if we were supposed to be the first move of the day? When the movers finally arrived at 1:30pm they told us that they had been working since 8am. We were not the first move of the day as promised by the fast-talking owner "Archie." The move then proceeded to take 10 hours. We live in apartment... not a house. We were fully packed. I was told by "Archie" that the bed would be moved first followed by the appliances. But the movers did not follow that regime. They seemed to move objects without much rhyme or reason. Therefore, they ended up doing two loads instead of one -- which could have been possible. Our movers were clearly overworked and told us they had to go to another job that would probably end at 3am. We felt bad for the workers if this was true -- overworking your movers only lines Archie's pockets. Completely dissatisfied with our move, we contacted the company. Upon our first call with Archie he denied his company ever moved us. Our second call, he admitted to moving us but said that we were indeed the first move of the day. He said he let his workers sleep in prior to our move because they had worked late the night before and that is why they were 3 hours late. This is baffling to me as Archie had said, on the morning of the move, that they were working. Even if he wasn't lying, not notifying your client that the movers will be 3 hours late, because they are sleeping, is ridiculous to me. An apartment move should not take 10 hours, and he did seem to agree that there was something 'off' with the way his movers moved our apartment. But he said he would have to assess the old apartment and our new apartment to see if 10 hours was reasonable or not... Should that assessment not have been done BEFORE the move? Not retroactively. Now, he is not returning our calls. Is not trying to fix the situation. I don't know who lied/is lying to us but I don't care. Do not lie to you customers. Communicate and be honest. It's incredibly simple. They are neither communicative or honest. When we booked he kept reassuring me that his company is the best in the business. That couldn't be farther from the truth. DO NOT move with Montreal-small-moves aka The Transporter. If you have to pay the exorbitant amount that they charged us, better off going with a company who will respect their customers and take the time to do it right and be honest. read more

Archie and Chantal were very kind. Mine was a small move, emptying my late-aunt's small apartment with multiple destinations. The booking was a rush job, with only 2 days notice, and they stretched to accommodate me. The guys they sent were courteous and experienced. The whole thing went smoothly and quickly. I'd give this an easy 4 stars, but the price and personal attention bump it up to 5. I will call these guys next year when I have to move again. Thanks! read more

I hired Archie's moving company on two difference occasions, and unfortunately I have nothing good to say about the whole experience. The first time round, I was moving out of my apartment and I had to put my furniture in storage because my new apartment would not be ready until the next month. He called me the day before to confirm a time, but his movers came 6 hours late! They arrived at 9.30PM and finished the job around 2.30AM. Most of you know that moving is stressful enough as it is, but having to worry if the movers would show up or not was definitely not something I wanted to add to my plate. At least his movers were kind enough (even though that doesn't really justify anything), and I appreciate them for working until the late hours. For my second move (I made both appointments together), Archie was supposed to get my stuff from the storage unit to my new apartment. I was already wary since I did not have that great of a first experience. I had heard nothing from Archie since my first move. A day before my second move, I tried calling him, but he didn't pick up. He later sent me a text saying that he was still trying to figure the schedule out, and that he would contact me later in the day. By 9PM I still hadn't heard anything. I proceeded to text him. His response was not helpful at all, and eventually I decided to cancel and do the move myself. On the phone, Archie was always very kind and responsive. That's why I decided to choose his company for my move. However, I can't stress enough how unprofessional he has been. I even felt bad for his movers because it seemed like they were fitting in too many moves in one day. I hope going forward, Archie and his team would be more aware of his clients needs, confirmations, scheduling, etc. read more

Archie is the most helpful person when it comes to moving and handling your stuff, even during emergency situations. Their service is prompt and has great rates, troubleshooting, and constructive solutions for when you are confused! 100%. recommended, have been using this service for the past two years!! :) read more

I was a long-time client of Archie the Transporter (Montreal Small Moves). I hired them several times and referred them to friends. This time was awful. It took weeks just to get an appointment. I hired them to move my art studio, including sculptures and fragile audio equipment. I paid over $300 for the job. One of the movers was careless, dropping things. I noticed several broken storage boxes and that the contents of some boxes were thrown around. Two weeks after the move I found out that one of my sculptures had been broken, and covered so that I didn't see it right away. The damage, only for the sculpture, was valued at around $325. I contacted Archie and he said he would pay the full amount. Chantal, his partner, said, 'yeah, that guy breaks something on every job. We'll pay the damages'. No payment was made. I contacted them for a year and though they repeatedly promised to pay, they did nothing. Finally after a year, they changed their mind and said they would take the damaged object to be repaired. I couldn't accept this. They have never resolved the problem. On the day of the move, they refused to take a check and pressured to pay the full amount in cash. As I said, I was a repeat customer and had always paid. I had requested a receipt for the moving expense and have never received it. I'm extremely disappointed with what happened and the way I was treated after years of using their service. I can no longer recommend them. read more
